If there is one thing needed in the Christian world today, it’s a positive view of sex and relationships. With uncanny warmth, deep compassion and non-judgmental wisdom, Fran Ferder and John Heagle have set the course for a quiet revolution in our hearts and in our churches

The authors invite us to understand and accept our sexuality as the energy and power that enables us to share real intimacy; that enables us to look closely at the process of personal growth that we must pursue to fulfill the hunger for love.

The contemporary search for fulfillment too often begins with the assumption that fulfillment is something we do for ourselves - an end in itself. We want a piece of the action, the good things of life that will meet our needs and make us happy. An attitude, says the author of this remarkably helpful book, that has become the preoccupation of our age - the barometer of success and the test of happiness. There's nothing unnatural about the quest for self-fulfillment, he writes. We are born with a restless hunger in our hearts. We grow up with the desire to satisfy our yearning, to fill our emptiness. This longing stirs in us ceaselessly. We can choose to smother it with passing gratifications or to deaden it with distractions. We can choose to stay on the edges of life - to be tourists. But if we follow our thirst for fulfillment far enough, it will lead us to the awareness that beyond hunger is invitation. The Christian search for fulfillment begins with a leap of faith, says Father Heagle. It assumes nothing. It risks everything. These reflections, written with lucidity and compassion that characterized the author's extremely popular A Contemporary Mediation on Hope, are invitations to stop and catch our breath, a chance to reflect on where we are, and to accept, if necessary, the experience of being lost. They are intended to be a quiet call to thought and prayer, a summons to explore the inner space of our lives, and to scan the skies of the self for a still point. What is the promise of the Gospel? What awaits us if we respond to the invitation of Jesus? Why has He drawn near to our lives, asks Father Heagle. I have come that they may have life and have it to the full (Jn.10:10). Life to the full - this is the Christian word for fulfillment.

John Heagle, author of the Life to the full, brings another aspect in the growing search for spirituality in the Church today. A search which goes beyond programs and movements. It is a flowering of the personal and communal concern to live the gospel more deeply. More and more Christians are taking seriously the challenge to clarify their values and to develop sensitivity to God's presence in our lives.
